UPDATE: Idaho Potatoes

July 01, 2015

Markon First Crop (MFC) Idaho Burbank Potatoes will be on the market through early August. New crop packer label Norkotah shipments will begin in early to mid-August; Markon does not foresee any supply gaps. Expect prices to gradually ease over the next six weeks as the industry transitions from storage to new crop stocks due to ample supply levels. Prices for large-size cartons (40- to 60-count supplies) are expected to ease due to weak demand, while the market for smaller sizes (80- to 100-count stocks) is expected to remain stable. No. 2 potatoes are plentiful and will hold at their respective low price levels for the duration of the season. New crop MFC Norkotah Potatoes will become available in late August/early September.
